Crazy Canucks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crazy Canucks was a group of Canadian alpine ski racers who rose to prominence in the World Cup during the 1970s and 80s. Dave Irwin, Dave Murray, Steve Podborski and Ken Read earned themselves a reputation for fast and seemingly reckless skiing.
In 2006, it was announced that the four original Crazy Canucks would be receiving stars on Canada's Walk of Fame. They would all be inducted as one group. The only other skier on the walk is Canadian skiing legend Nancy Greene.
[edit] TV film
Crazy Canucks was a TV film named after and based on the events of the team. It was created in 2004 in Canada. The film was directed by Randy Bradshaw and starred Lucas Bryant (Read), Curtis Harrison (Podborski), Kyle Labrine (Murray) and Robert Tinkler (Irwin).
